Great write up and definitely the right attitude. Bitcoin was always meant to be the launching platform for smart contracts. It was designed that way. Launch quickly, make adjustments once you get under way. That sounds familiar?...Just like 2009.
This link below was Nicks first mention of implementing his smart contracts into anonymous decentralized currency::

This second link below was who's email he was answering(you mentioned a smoking gun):

Szabo “came up” with the technology that will become ethereum including smart contracts which was solely contingent on Satoshi’s work that Szabo never knew would be produced?

Smart contracts come about because Bitcoin is the beginning of the completion of a “Kula Ring”, a unifying solution that bridges among other things, game theory, encryption, economics, finance, programming, and law… there are not multiple random people capable of this…

Ya'll will love this:
"early Bitcoin proponent"
I'd say.
Thrown off yet?
He does speak the truth in the context of his essays on smart contracts. He is all about that. A well implemented Ethereum would be closer to his final vision than Bitcoin. Even if Bitcoin/gold was his initial vision. There is nothing controversial about this, it's just a matter of reading the essays.

"Ethereum has vast potential, whereas Bitcoin won't ever do anything well beyond implementing a currency," programmer Nick Szabo, another early Bitcoin proponent who's recently begun tweeting after an extended absence from the internet, told us in an email several weeks ago.

I was reading Gav's ethereum update and I noticed an interesting paragraph;
I thought no one really knows who Nick Szabo is!?

In addition to his impressive public speaking schedule, Vitalik has been putting in considerable efforts into research on potential consensus algorithms. Together with Vlad Zamfir, a number of potential approaches have been mooted over the past few weeks. Ultimately, we decided to follow the advice of some in our community, like Nick Szabo, who have urged us to focus on getting a working product off the ground and not try to make every last detail perfect before launching. In that regard, we’ve decided to move many of our more ambitious changes, including native extensions, auto-triggering events and proof of stake, into a planned future upgrade to happen around mid-to-late 2015.

As long as it is not confirmed by https://twitter.com/NickSzabo4 or http://unenumerated.blogspot.in/, there is no reason to believe this. Vitalik and his army will now do a lot of things to artificially inflate price of the failed product.
WTF are you talking about! Did you even read his tweets guy?
I don't fucking understand!? Why does everyone call Ethereum a failed project when it's not even winter yet! Sorry if this is now becoming a Ethereum rant, but that's it, I need to get this off of my chest.
The only reason I found out about Ethereum is because of Nick Szabo! Yes, Nick Szabo! The guy who half the community think is actually Satoshi and the other half think that Satoshi is not him, but he must have studied Szabo's work in great detail and basically added a proof-of-work mechanism to BitGold! So, I think we can all agree that the guy is a genius! A Nikola Tesla. An Isaac Newton. An Avicenna! These are the people who come around once in a while, and push science and technology and philosophy one step forward. Whats my point? Nick has tweeted about Ethereum 3 times. Go see if he has done the same with any other so called Alts!
I was having a smoke going through my phone one night when i saw a tweet from Nick!
https://twitter.com/NickSzabo4/status/480101674061545474
I remember going and checking it out. Then a month later he re-tweeted "an introduction to smart contract by ethereum"
A month after that it was:
https://twitter.com/NickSzabo4/status/495300992049479680

Ethereum has the best ideas in block chain tech. Execution, not so much.
If you were the Ethereum team, and you see that Tweet, Would you tweet back? I would! You think Szabo would Tweet back? I don't know but it looks like he may have! It actually sounds like they talked about the "best idea in block chain tech" and took a few pointers. Which is why this statement is very plausible.

"Nick Szabo, who have urged us to focus on getting a working product off the ground and not try to make every last detail perfect before launching"
Which brings me to my question! How involved is Mr. Nick Szabo with Ethereum? I would like to know that! So, please stop talking out of your ASS about how they are just trying to what did you say ? I have to scroll up...... oh, " artificially inflate price of the failed product" HAHAHA! That is such an absurd statement.
Just like Andreas always says...

You people sometimes.... I don't even....
Obviously ethereum developers/marketers want to capitalize on the szabo/satoshi conspiracy theory...
i wonder why... aren't they super rich already?

WTF are you talking about? Capitalize on what exactly? Ethersale is over! Why would they lie now? Nick is active and just made a post last night. Did you read it?
interesting find but I am sure this is all to add hype to a failed project
